Americans, it turns out, would rather visit a store than buy food online

All those things, plus:

1) concern that prices online are higher so the delivery option's more expensive than it looks (food delivery services do this),

2) concern that some or all sale prices won't be used online—a lot of my shopping past my immediate needs consists of checking the canned and frozen sections for any actually good sales.

This is why I’ve backed away from it. I don’t mind paying for delivery, but the fact that I oy both a direct few and a variable extra markup per item, and that markup seems to vary so much per item makes it hard to swallow for me. It just feels like scummy enough that I’ll go to the store.

Give me an option where the cost of convenience is obvious and straightforward and I’d come back.

Delivery fee + Tip also. Best option is probably pick up as you save some time without getting charged other fees or needing to to tip anyone.
